I made these photos at the end of October, last year, outside the Moda Shopping mall, inside the Picasso Plaza in front of the skyscraper with the same name. 3 years ago I lived nearby and I still like that business area. It has great spots for having a self-made photo session. So, I took my new boots (Destroy) and here are the photos. Enjoy my boots!

I had the worst weather to visit this marvel of technology and architecture, The Metropol Parasol, which is the largest wooden construction in the world. My January trip to Seville (Spain) was split in two: rainy and windy days and sunny “terrace time” days. But because the city is so interesting and beautiful and the touristic attractions are so diverse, I couldn’t stay inside even when the weather was bad. This modern wonder, the Metropol Parasol, was specifically on my visiting agenda so, here I am! My only regret is that I couldn’t visit its suspended passages, at more than 26 meters height. “The Mushrooms of Incarnation”, as the locals named the construction (it resides into the Plaza de la Encarnación), was made out of 8,000 wooden pieces, each one different, and positioned at different angles, and it represented not only an architectural and technical, but also a software challenge. The wooden pieces were connected using metal rods and glue, which required many tests of resistance (the major concern was the glue melting under the powerful summer sun). It is also the world largest structure held together by glue.

After all of these, we couldn’t forget to mention the brave architect, Jürgen Mayer Hermann and the total cost of the structure: 90 millions of Euros.

Today’s photos are from Retiro park on a rainy day (just like today in Madrid) but for me that’s not a reason to skip fashion outfits. In fact, I find myself more fashionable in the colder days than in the hot summer. My outfit:
